About this study

Official title: Incretin Physiology and Beta-cell Function Before and After Weight-loss - Effects of Long-term Weight Loss Following Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding

To evaluate the impact of laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) on beta-cell function, insulin sensitivity, incretin function, postprandial secretion of incretin hormones (glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP)) in morbidly obese patients and to describe the pathophysiological mechanisms involved in the amelioration of glucose homeostasis during long-term weight loss.

Read the detailed description

Morbid obesity represents a serious health issue in Western countries, with a rising incidence and a strong association with increased mortality and serious co-morbidities, such as diabetes. Surgical interventions, such as laparoscopic gastric banding have been developed with the aim of providing a laparoscopic placed device that is safe and effective in generating substantial weight loss. By investigation of the incretin effect, the secretion of GIP and GLP-1, the insulin response and sensitivity and the beta-cell responsiveness to glucose in 10 obese patients without type 2 diabetes before and after laparoscopic gastric banding the aim of this project is describe the pathophysiological mechanisms involved in the amelioration of glucose homeostasis during long-term weight loss.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), isoglycemic iv. clamp, liquid meal test, gastric emptying rateOther

    OGTT: The test is performed with 50 g of glucose deluded in 300 ml water

    Isoglycemic iv. clamp: Iv. glucose infusion mimicking the glucose response curves from the OGTT

    Liquid Meal test: The test is performed with 100g of formula milk deluded in 300 ml. water

    Gastric Emptying Rate: Paracetamol absorption test.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Obesity, run by Glostrup University Hospital, Copenhagen at 1 site in Denmark.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Oct 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Denmark. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Not enough patients in the follow-up period). Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incretin effect before and one year after gastric banding in obese patients without diabetes (time frame: One year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 9 Oct 2014.
